Controller from Original Xbox to Xbox 360

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hey Ben, I have a have a suggestion for a build. I bought an Original Xbox controller from the thrift store. I don't have an Original Xbox, but when I saw this amazing Radica Gamester fps Master pistol controller, I had to buy it. I was wondering if you could engineer something that would allow me to use it on my Xbox 360. Many people don't see the point in doing so, but they forget about the Xbox after-market controllers. I was hoping the thing you make would be something I could plug any Original Xbox controller into to allow me to use it on the 360. something like those adapters that allow you to use a mouse and keyboard on the console. They use firmware to read the input from the mouse or keyboard and then output the 360's equivlant buttons. Thank you so much for your time in reading this. -Zachery Korsmeyer

    You might have trouble emulating the Xbox360 protocol. Microsoft seem to have locked that down:

    Xbox 360 Controller Security

     

    An easier way might be to reverse engineer an official 360 controller and solder onto the button pads.

    Well my whole goal is to not harm the controller. Maby if someone could just make a program on the pc whwhere I have a the controller I want to emulate always plugged in.  And then another usb goes to the original controller. And then the third usb goes to the console and and it sends the commands.
